Prices of Live Stock. 



Ashford, Norwich, and Salford — although a few animals have 

 been weighed — no information as to prices is forthcoming. 



There are, however, thirteen of the twenty-one scheduled 

 markets which continue to supply prices of a sufficient 

 number of animals to give returns of average prices for the 

 three months in sufficiently reliable form for comparison. 

 The results as ascertained at these places appear below.

The prices for prime or first quality cattle ranged from 

 38s. iod. per cwt. (4s. iojd. per stone) in London to 34s. 4d. 

 per cwt. (4s. 3|d. per stone) at Carlisle, Leicester, and Leeds.. 

 For second quality the range was from 35s. iod. per cwt* 

 (4s. 5 Jd. per stone) at Edinburgh, to 29s. 6d. per cwt. (3s. 8^d. 

 per stone) at Leeds and Liverpool. The defective nature of 

 the returns of prices of cattle of inferior grade remains still to 

 be noted. 



The following table gives a comparison of the prices per 

 cwt. as shown in the foregoing table with those which were 

 recorded in the corresponding period of last year.
